I was mistaken...I have actually published only 585 posts so I have another 15 to post before the big 600. (Well, I guess it will be 14 more AFTER this one!) I will have to step up my game before the end of September or just keep it real and figure on the number rolling over some time in October. Either way I will have lots of time to put together a big, fat giveaway! Please check back once in a while...

I mentioned before that I won a giveaway on the Moda site for new patterns designed by Carrie Nelson. The patterns were created to use with the new Moda pre-cut - Candy - which are 2.5" squares. My package arrived the other day.

"Chip" is the first one I will attempt. (I love a good star.) I have not seen any of the small Moda pre-cuts yet at my favorite shop so I am going to cut up an extra charm pack of Sentiments (3 Sisters). I am making a Christmas quilt using that fabric so this would be a nice piece to compliment the quilt.

From this group, I am going to do "Tickle" but that depends totally on how the first little quilt goes! I may very well start twitching because these are small pieces and I struggle with anything less than a 2-1/2" square. I do like Carrie's patterns (Miss Rosie's Quilt Company) and her directions are always very clear.

Since I am being realistic about how many of these patterns I am going to actually attempt, how about a giveaway? The winner will receive 4 patterns. Just leave a comment for an entry. For a second entry, mention the giveaway on your blog linking back to this post and let me know that you did. You do not have to be a follower. The winner will be chosen by Random Generator on Wednesday morning at 6am Eastern time.
